1. Install Dependencies:
$ sudo apt-get install gcc g++ tar bzip2 gzip build-essential autoconf libtool pkg-config zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libexpat1-dev libreadline6-dev libxslt1.1 gnuplot
2. Download and install Plone
$ sudo wget https://launchpad.net/plone/4.2/4.2/+download/Plone-4.2-UnifiedInstaller-update-1.tgz
$ tar xzf Plone-4.2-UnifiedInstaller-update-1.tgz
$ cd Plone-4.2-UnifiedInstaller/
$ sudo ./install.sh --target=/opt/Plone --password=Password standalone
This takes a while...
7. Edit buildout.cfg
$ cd /opt/Plone/zinstance
$ editor buildout.cfg
9. Add "bika.lims" to the eggs section
eggs =
Plone
Pillow
bika.lims
10. Run buildout:
$ bin/buildout
It's important that the buildout.cfg is in the current directory when you run
this command.
The buildout will download all dependencies. If the downloads are interrupted,
they will resume when bin/buildout is run again.
You'll see some SyntaxErrors like: "Return outside function" etc. Ignore them.
11. Start Plone:
$ bin/plonectl fg
12. Add a new site:
Visit http://localhost:8080 and add a new site. Be sure to select the
checkbox for the Bika LIMS extension profile. No other add-ons need to
be installed - dependencies are installed automatically.
"bika" and "plone" are reserved words, and cannot be used for a site id. If you want, use the default 'Plone'.
13. Test:
Visit http://localhost:8080 and view your site.
